This week we continued our investigation into the story of the Lorax.  We have met Swomee Swans and Brown Bar-ba-loots who are living happily in the glorious place discovered by the Once-ler.  Their home is clean, safe and provides them with food and shelter.  How happy they are! 

We discovered the name given to the place animals choose to live is called a HABITAT.  Our work this week helped us to understand that different animals choose difference places to live depending on what they need.  We looked at four kinds of habitats and were able to identify the animals that live in each.

Now that the Once-ler has arrived, he seems very interested in the Truffula tress.  Will the Swomee Swans and their friends continue to be safe and happy?
